An Overview of Sungrow Premium Solar Inverter

A brief look at the history of the Sungrow brand enlightens us about its origins to help create a better picture of the company’s vision and aim towards encouraging renewable energy through solar power. Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. was founded in China in 1997 by Cao Renxian, a professor at the Hefei University of Technology. Professor Renxian founded Sungrow after learning about the dire state of electrical availability in rural western China.

With this impressive initiative, Sungrow has since grown to be one of the largest solar inverter manufacturers globally. Sungrow has manufactured over 100GW to 60 countries giving them a worldwide market share of 15%. This has contributed to the company’s valuation at $1.5 billion.

Sungrow specialises in research and development, taking pride in being an innovation leader within the solar industry. This commitment has resulted in more than 1,600 patent applications as of June 2019.

They send the power produced by solar panels to a central inverter that changes it from the DC electricity to the usable AC electricity that powers homes.
